A FORMER Tory MP probed over child abuse allegations at Westminster has launched a brutal attack on deputy Labour leader Tom Watson and said the claims “destroyed” his life.

Harvey Proctor, former MP for Basildon and Billericay, is the only living person under investigation by Operation Midland – which has seen a plethora of public figures accused of paedophilia.

Mr Proctor also slammed Labour MP John Mann and London mayor candidate Zac Goldsmith, telling them to “hang their heads in shame” for making “self-serving” comments about an alleged VIP child sex ring in Westminster.

He also accused the Met of being “the leakiest of bodies” and called on a public enquiry into the operation.

Scotland Yard are set to make an announcement on the future of the operation.

In a letter, Mr Proctor said the allegations “engulfed” and “destroyed my life” and pleaded Parliament to “redress the imbalance in the law in favour of people alleging sexual abuse”.

Zac Goldsmith was told to hang his head in shame following the allegations

He wrote: “The likes of Tom Watson, John Mann (who described me on the day of my house search as “the first of many”) and Zac Goldsmith should hang their heads in shame.

“I doubt they will do so as by their words they have shown themselves to be the antithesis of their sobriquet in parliamentary terms, “honourable” men.

“I only hope in their lives they never face the turmoil that their varying degrees of encouragement to fantasists and the police has caused me this past year.”

The Operation has investigated an alleged VIP child sex ring from inside Westminster

The former MP has faced allegations of murder, rape and abuse of young boys as part of a group of men that abused children in the 1970s and 80s.

Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and the police have come under fire for their handling of the investigation.

Mr Proctor added: “Operation Midland, and its ineptitude, should be investigated by Parliament and the lessons learnt applied to all cases.

“The Met, and other police constabularies, are the ‘leakiest’ of bodies.”

However he also called on MPs to support Mr Hogan-Howe to “to stand up to the bullying of the child abuse fantasists on the internet”, as well as make internet companies such as Google liable to defamation laws.
